I agree with the comment about issuing more speeding tickets does not nesessarily increase road safety. However, I do understand something has to be done. Why doesn’t France have a point system like the UK? Surely just the thought of having your license taken away from you for (what is it?) two years, would be enough to make people drive slower?
